Ya......The GNational was a bad ass car! but it lack low end power.
????

dont really understand the comment here?

anything that can eats GT-500's for a snack, cant be too soft off the line.

cant run low 11's if you cant get off the couch too fast.

maybe you talking low end like the first 30 feet?

not to mention that the GNX was a tractor trailer size. how many cars could you move your house with that can run 11s?

imagine if the GNX was much lighter car? may low 10s? from a V-6!!

i will agree that a 6 dont sound like a 8, but so what? you can pull in late at nigth withouth waking all the nieghbors up?

i actually think taht Buick is expermenting with bringing the Grand National back?

just look at the 2011-12 Buick CX

it only a 4 cyl with twin turbos and make 255 HP. not bad for a 4 cyl

i myself like a car with Turbo in it. you get more power for the cylinders when its needed on the high end, but it save gas becasue it not always working like a supercharger is. less wear and tear on everhitng, engine, belts, etc

only give up is lagtime to spool up. time it take for the exhaust to rev up the trubines inside the turbo, but they dont spool at normal everyday driving speeds so it save gas, and soon when gas will $5/galoon, it isnt cheap.
